The City of Bothell Tuesday night released its investigation into whether Mayor Joshua Freed had a conflict of interest when he secured the rights to purchase the Wayne Golf Course back nine as part of a private investment group.
Bothell Mayor Joshua Freed did not violate city or state ethics rules when he successfully bid to purchase the Wayne Golf Course back nine for his private development company, according to an independent investigation released to the City Council Tuesday night.
The investigation found that Freed did not make an offer to purchase the property, 38 acres along the Sammamish River, until the city’s own right of first offer on the property lapsed.
